Haven't noticed this happening till now. When I unlock my phone, I got a whatsapp message, and it sent me back to the NoLED notification screen. I wonder if it was just a glitch or not, but I thought I'd let you know just in case.
[Android Apps and Games] bomba6:
I have not got a bootloop on cm9, but this is taking 35MB of RAM.

I will send all the needed files later for inspection.

---------- Post added at 12:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:41 PM ----------

I uninstalled + deleted everything from SD.

Didn't reboot, immediately re-installed.

Again didn't reboot and: no NoLed widget in app drawer (solved after reboot).

NoLed is not working (solved after reboot; tried checking "turn noled on/off").

Memory consumption: 35MB.

After reboot: NoLed works + there is a widget.

Memory consumption went down to 12MB. Is it normal?

Will try later to update my CM9 version, maybe this will solve the backlight problem.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
12 is way too high still. Mine here is sitting on 4.5MB only with both MainService and AccessibilityService switched on.

You are setting these numbers from the Android applications setting right? (under the running tab)
[Android Apps and Games] bomba6:
Here are the files. Hope it helps.

I have both MainService and AccessibilityService switched on (the screenshot is in Hebrew, of course).
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
I've done a little digging (compiled cm9 and ran it on my emulator) and NoLED indeed is reported as using 20MB when both Accessibility and MainService are running (17MB when either is running alone).

I then ran NoLED with the same configuration on an AOSP ICS, and the reported usage is 4.5MB. This is what I expect.

I think it's a bug either in the way CM9 allocates memory to background services or in reporting memory usage.
[Android Apps and Games] q3tempest:
Hi all,

I see that in the latest version. Low memory warning is optional now.

But I can''t find the setting for turning it on/off.

Temp
[Android Apps and Games] bomba6:
Thanks madmack for your support! :good:

I really appreciate this.

I won't stop using NoLed because of that, but it's good to know the source of the problem.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
When you receive the message. Tick "don't show me this again". There is no way to bring it back up once you've checked this option other than restoring default settings (advanced submenu)
[Android Apps and Games] geokilla:
Hey mad, I think you should request to a mod that this app get moved to the Android Apps section. That way, it'll generate more attention and more users, especially since it's not limited to just the Galaxy S series :)

Bug report! When I'm charging the phone overnight, I sometimes get text or Whatsapp messages. Well twice I've woken up now to find that my screen was on all night, displaying the NoLED Whatsapp notification. My SGS2's screen is gonna die!
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Done ! Thanks to Chainfire.

Is that a bug? use the timeout feature ;)
[Android Apps and Games] geokilla:
Ya.... I thought I changed the timeout setting. Turns out I didn't... Whoops :rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] silenceluke:
Hi,

I use your app now for a year and i like it! The update that i can choose different colors for all my apps is very nice!

Only after the last update my dots expand from 2px to 8px. Can you make a option that I can switch back to the good old small dots? I like them and consumes much less power.

Thx!
[Android Apps and Games] karthikcs:
It's taking 22MB. Please find the attached image
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
not here man.

i can't fix it when i can't replicate it.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
can you please take a screenshot and post it here? I'm wondering how 8px (and how you figured it was 8px !) look like on your screen. Which device is it btw?
[Android Apps and Games] VooDoo`:
A bug with Popups (tested with whatsapp):

If I get one message... all is fine... but If i get another message, the whatsapp popup will appear over a black screen :-/
[Android Apps and Games] karthikcs:
ok, got it, it's showing around 6Mb
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
known issue and no way around that one unfortunately :(
[Android Apps and Games] VooDoo`:
hm... strange... if I disable the homebutton as a dismiss button then it works. no popup on black screen... but this way, the popup is completly gone, also after unlock... and I have to dismiss the notification by double press back button. (I think that I dismiss the "invisible popup" this way)
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Disabling the home button as a dismiss key creates an invisible dialog on top which has a high system priority. Pretty obtrusive just like Whatsapp popups. You don't really see it but it's there to try and keep NoLED on top of any other screen.

I stopped working on making NoLED compatible with popups at this point because these popups don't follow the correct guidelines in Android and I don't want to "hack around" to try to make NoLED work with them. Your best bet is to disable these popups completely for any given app.

I updated as soon as I saw the latest version available in the Play Store, but the weather still does not update.:(
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Something is blocking that weather app from running as a process in the background. I have the latest version and weather seems to be updating fine.
[Android Apps and Games] OlivierTheBest:
Hello,

I have the low memory warning en galaxy s official xeu jw4 firmware.

This happens only since last update.

How is checked the amount of memory ?

Why Noled is the only app that gives this warning ?

Rq : memory remains always below 300 Mb .

Thanks.you
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
did you try checking "do not remind me of this again" ?
[Android Apps and Games] gspears:
I love the app and recommend it to all the people who ask for BLN in the kernel development threads.

Anyway, I've been having a little problem lately on my Note using Crash rom with Chainfire's kernel. When I get a notification, sometimes and not very often, when I push the home key the screen stays dark. I have to push the power button then push the home key again. I have not been able to discern a pattern, but it seems like it happens more often on receiving Gmails.

Any advice?

thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] silenceluke:
I count the pixels, its 15 px (see the screenshot)

I have the Samsung Galaxy S Plus
[Android Apps and Games] RaymondPJR:
I'll start looking into it. If I find anything, I'll share, of course.:eek:
[Android Apps and Games] OlivierTheBest:
Yes it's ok but why Noled is the only app that reports a memory problem ?

Also when memory setting choices are done, how do you reverse back to previous settings ?

Thanks

Olivier
[Android Apps and Games] mug2k:
I'm using paranoidandroid and just downloaded the latest version of NoLED. I've download 2 themes and installed them but when I select them nothing happens and it just stays with the default dots, any idea's ?
[Android Apps and Games] RaymondPJR:
Well, I'm on the latest Stock Samung OTA UVLAH2 and I can't get the weather app to do anything at all anymore. I go into it's settings and tap get weather, and the preview stays the same, back out and wait-nothing, still stuck at 72 degrees. I change the update interval, no change. Strange thing is I have geolocation ticked and figure I don't need to have a location in the box above. But if I take out the location setting leaving geolocation ticked and then try to update, it tells me to put it back in.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
no clue :( seems like a hardware or driver issue.

i see. that's the size that I wanted for the dots but I'll look into making them a bit smaller.

Because it's the only app that is programmed to report memory issues :)

If you have blue notification dot after clicking on Yes, go to the Misc submenu and uncheck the first option up there.

click on the text that says "dot/icon" on each notification and make "icon" light up instead of the default "dot". Theme settings will be neglected if you don't do this step.

Google's weather APIs are DEAD.

It seems MSN has a free alternative weather provider so I'm going to release an update to the weather app very soon.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
weather module updated

ok, weather app is updated to v0.4

it's in the play store and the OP.
[Android Apps and Games] RaymondPJR:
Hooray! I was about to just un-install the weather app. Glad you found the problem.:laugh::good:

EDIT: Rats, still won't update. I wonder if I have some setting ticked somewhere that prevents it from doing so. This new SGS3 has way too many settings; not sure where to look.

EDIT: I can see a checkbox in Settngs>Data>Menu button to restrict background data, but I don't have that box ticked. Still searching.
[Android Apps and Games] xmavrickx2005:
cool and practical idea for notifications. Thanks .. will try it out.
[Android Apps and Games] xmavrickx2005:
No way to stick to default color on icons?

cool app .. i been playing around for a bit now.

One annoying thing is that I would like to get the default colors of the icons from themes like Docka 3D.

It doesn't seem to let me, its a bit ugly no matter what color I change in the notification settings.

I did search the post and wasn't able to find a solution.

I'm guessing its a known issue?

Bonus: Also allowing an option to change the backgroud to a wallpaper would be awesome too!

Thanks for any help!
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
change the color to pure white and you should see the icon's original color.
[Android Apps and Games] xmavrickx2005:
I thought I did with dragging the scroll bar down til it hit white on the HSV screen, and the icon just disappeared.

Now I tried dragging all the scroll bars in RGB all the way to the right til it hit white, and it works!

Thanks bro!

Is there a way to hide NO Led's status? SOLVED

I would like to turn off the little blue dot in the upper left corner of my screen and have the No LED status not show up in the notification pull down tray. There does not seem to be a way to do this having read the documentation and searching the internet.

Nexus S phone running latest version of No LED on Android OS v. 4.1.1

Found it! Miscellaneous submenu > Display NoLED icon. I forgot I turned it on when I got a low memory warning.
[Android Apps and Games] RaymondPJR:
Uninstalled NoLed weather for now, could not discover any reason for it not updating. Will try again after the JB update.:p
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
update it to v0.5 (released today). I fixed that update issue. should work now.
[Android Apps and Games] RaymondPJR:
I acutally saw the update show up in the Play Store before I saw this post. I'm giving it a test right now.:)
[Android Apps and Games] thowed:
finally my evo3d have something similliar with sleeping screen at my old n8..

thanks :D
[Android Apps and Games] DoooX:
This is great! .. What is your ROM on the video ?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
you probably wanna contact totallydubbedHD about it.
[Android Apps and Games] Rock_Harder:
Had been using NoLED since i had my HTC Desire, now on my new Galaxy Nexus I have a problem, tried it on 4.0.4, OTA 4.1.1 and now on AOKP JB 1, the problem is that NoLED reverts most of the settings, especially Start apps on longpress and Dismiss Button settings. Also it never hides the NavBar...

Hope someone could help me, thank you in advance!
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
q 13 in the faq should answer the first one. the nav keys problem can be fixed by going into the miscellaneous submenu and disabling the nav keys from there.

it should work with android 4. and higher.
[Android Apps and Games] DangKid:
Omg yes, I have been using this since yesterday and it is awesome. The standard lock screen on my s2 flashes for a quick second but this definitely helps me catch the text before the screen turns off. I have two small gripes, one being the contact photos are too small, is there anyway we can make them larger (possibly a new feature)? Another is that long pressing the notification to open them is sometimes a little buggy, not sure how this could be fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] RaymondPJR:
You can choose the size of the Icons in Settings>themes in the NoLed app.
[Android Apps and Games] DangKid:
I'm talking about for custom themes. Maybe a slider that adjusts the size.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
contacts' photos will use whatever size your theme is currently in. i can't and won't introduce a "slider" because I believe in native resolution of images whenever possible. these themes that you use or download have a native resolution that i don't touch. You can load them up on your PC and resize them using something like paint.net and then replace the ones on your sdcard with them. you lose your resolution but you'll achieve what you want.
[Android Apps and Games] DangKid:
Well I have my contact photos at 512x512, which is not what I'm seeing.
[Android Apps and Games] RaymondPJR:
Weather working!

OK, I got it to change in settings, but it still wouldn't update while in use. Got it working and this is how.

1. Deleted cache for NoLed in settings, backed out and un-ticked the Icon to turn it off.

2. Turned off my phone and deleted cache partition and dalvik cache, then rebooted.

3. Booted up and NoLed was on (odd) even though I got a message that it needed to be enabled in "Accesibility" settings.

4. Went into app and put in location and tapped "Get Weather". Updated right away.

5. Set update interval to 1hr, backed out and it worked!
[Android Apps and Games] trikpa:
I'm back on 6.0.7 because in the latest release, the notification goes off after a few seconds...

btw, in the 6.0.7 if I get two or more gtalk messages, the screen comes up on lockscreen and stays on...
[Android Apps and Games] DarienA:
mm I have a request I've been thinking about for some time... I don't know how easy/hard it would be to implement or if it even matters to others.

I'd like to be able to sleep individual notifications.

Here's my thinking.

I work in my own office and NoLED is on because I often need to see that I'm receiving text messages and various IM's... I don't however need to receive NoLED emails notifications while I'm at work... I'm at my desk.

When I'm home however I'd like to turn NoLED email notifications.... so the additional ability to define custom times for individual items a person has said they want to be alerted on is what I guess I'm asking.

Feasible?
[Android Apps and Games] Srad545:
themes

Themes show in the choice menu but don't apply, any recomendations?
[Android Apps and Games] RaymondPJR:
Are you getting dots instead? Look carefully at the menu in "Notifications' Settings", you have to check Icon instead of Dot. It's right above "Themes".
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
i'm not able to replicate it. i don't think i've changed much between .7 and .10 in that department. no clue here.

Feasible, but I think the right place for that would be via the locale/tasker plugin. I have it in my todo list to make that plugin a bit more advanced so that you can trigger notifications based on certain profiles that you set in these apps. My TODO list is still there, so it'll get done one day hopefully.
[Android Apps and Games] DarienA:
Hmmm I use Locale so that would work. Thanks. I'll just keep an eye out for that.
[Android Apps and Games] maxpd:
Unfortunately it doesn't work with Go Locker. I tried everything.

But if NoLED is lightning it deactivates the Lockscreen.

Or if not, I have to unlock the lockscreen and then again the black NoLED screen which is getting activated again.
[Android Apps and Games] trikpa:
found the problem :)

if I set the notification style in gtalk to "open dialogue" instead of "show notification", the screen will turn on and stay on after multiple gtalk messages...
[Android Apps and Games] RaymondPJR:
No posts=stability. Everything continues to work fine for me.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
+1

:) I'm glad to hear it.
[Android Apps and Games] bigbot45:
Thanks for the hard work. I think I'm having an issue with the application when the phone is fully charged. If I receive an alert so that the phone is displaying a dot and then get the phone fully charged message, the phone will display the dot and the message. This leaves the screen on with that constant bright charged message. Is there anyway the application could dismiss the pop up or shut off the screen when this happens?

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
I'm having problems understanding where the problem is and how to replicate it. If you receive a missed call, the puzzle lock screen should display right after it and when the screen dims, NoLED shows a blue dot. This is normal behavior and its doing what its implemented to do. Could you give me a step by step guide to replicate your issue (if there are any) in pm ?

-
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
I'm looking into that, it doesn't seem like there is anything that would allow me to override any dialogs or popups. but again, I haven't looked hard enough.
[Android Apps and Games] soulcrash:
Hi,

unfortunately i can`t get this app to work on my device.

Could this be because i use widgetlocker as lockscreen?

thx ;)
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Yea, Widgetlocker is one of the apps that are known not to work with NoLED.

Guys, I have a question. If we set the notifications to "blink" the screen instead of causing them to be constantly shown. For example, make the dots appear for 0.2 seconds, and disappear for 0.8 seconds by switching the screen on and off. Would that harm the screen in any way ? I know that this will surely save us battery power but am not quite sure that these screens can handle constant power switching. If anybody has any idea, please let us know.
[Android Apps and Games] muntos:
If I have a missed call or SMS and the notification is ON, pressing the Home key would get you to the lockscreen with the puzzle. Then if I let the screen turn off again there is no notification anymore. Is this by design or not :) ?

From my experience with these kind of programs, the notifications should pop up until the event is cleared (I go to call log, I read the SMS) ....
[Android Apps and Games] Singhman:
Won't work

I install it, can can't open it. The "OPEN" button is greyed out. Any ideas.
[Android Apps and Games] matrix866:
Would be great to have this App on Samsung Wave with Bada OS and it's super amoled display.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
This is how I designed it. The program cannot use all android resources to make sure you actually read or dismissed a notification bar. The only way for me to make sure you have seen the missed event is by dismissing the notification window. :)
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
There shouldn't be an "open" button. All you need to do is load the Widget on your home screen. Long press anywhere on the home screen, then select "Widgets" and NoLED should be there :) or just restart your phone and it should run.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Guys having problems with Froyo. Can you please uninstall the application if you downloaded it from the Market and download 0.8 from this thread. I think I have fixed the FC problem ;)
[Android Apps and Games] arj03:
This program looks really interesting. I'm wondering what the battery drain is, like if it's in my pocket for 3 hours.

Thanks a lot!
[Android Apps and Games] Deadbeef:
Icons not boxes

1st: Great apps come in small packages. This is one of them.

Suggestion: why not use icons or a very small font to indicate message types?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
one person estimated it to consume about 6% per hour of battery life.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
well, we're trying to minimize the number of pixels lit per notification type. All this app was meant to be was to make a substitute for the absence of an actual LED on the galaxy s
[Android Apps and Games] tacocat:
**Edit - Turned out to be unrelated**
[Android Apps and Games] javacody:
MadMack, I was so stoked when the Market told me I had an update for noLED. Very nice! Of course, I had to uninstall the old one first, but no biggie.

This little app has improved leaps and bounds and I for one am extremely grateful for your hard work on it. I think you should create a donate version.

Or maybe make the donate version be more featured (like with a UI to select the notification colors, and size and behavior of the pixel).

I also like your flashing idea. I don't see any reason why flashing the screen would hurt it, but I'm not an expert.

Awesome app! I cannot wait to see what you come up with next.
[Android Apps and Games] oxman:
Amazing : ITS WORK !

Thankssssssssssssssssss :)
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
thanks for checking, I'll push that version as .9 in the market soon. :) once you have that, you wont need to download apks off xda anymore hopefully.

thanks for your words :)

just wanted to note that once you have the market version, you will not need to uninstall and reinstall anymore, it should update automatically and just work.

I'll experiment with the LEDs flashing and see what I can come up with. am just afraid that it might have some side effects on the screen itself. don't wanna be held responsible for broken galaxies, lol.
[Android Apps and Games] Inat:
Great idea but I haven't been able to get it to work with my Vibrant.

I first installed the market version, added the widget to my home screen, waited for the screen to lock itself, and then made a call from my landline. After the screen turned off it just remained black. I hit the unlock key, saw the puzzle piece, it went black, and then I saw a blue dot. I unlocked the screen, cleared out the missed call, then tried again. This time though, the screen remained black no matter how many times I unlocked/locked the screen.

I then uninstalled the market version and installed the version you have in the first post and restarted my phone. Same thing happened after making a call. No more blue dot.
[Android Apps and Games] PMoto:
Hi Madmack.

I was thinking...

For your app to be perfect, instead of using the screen for LED notification, it would light up sensitive keys, just the way BLN do.

I love NoLED, and i use it a long time ago. But I must say that using the screen, my battery suffers a little.

I found a solution for that, don't turn screen on, just the sound.

Well, if the sensitive keys work in a better way, that would be a better solution. Do you think that can be done?

I must say that BLN did not solve my notifications issue because it's not so good as NoLED. NoLED is perfect.... with sensitive keys blinking (or lighted up... :) )

Thanks, and keep on.

PMoto
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Unfortunately that is not possible without root and most likely a specially modified kernel. You see, Android doesn't expose control over the behavior of these backlights. This is especially the case when the screen is off; no Android API is available to force them to switch on. That's why BLN requires a modified kernel. One that is hacked to allow these backlights to switch on regardless of screen state.

Whatever APIs that are available are there to control the backlights when the screen is on. From my experience though, even these aren't implemented correctly by most manufacturers. For example, the "keep backlights off" option under the Miscellaneous menu used to work for the Froyo and Eclair ROMs on the Galaxy S, but then Samsung broke these APIs in Gingerbread and newer devices like the S2 and 3.

I'm not fiddling with the kernel because I don't have much interest (or time, lately!) for that. NoLED as is simply works on any device whether it is rooted or not. I want to keep it that way.
[Android Apps and Games] PMoto:
And you are doing it right anyway.

Thanks for your answer. I'll keep on using NoLed in my S2. Can't live without it... eheheh.

PMoto.
